Make a concrete plan then. You know exactly when the weekend is going to arrive, right? So write it down or put it in your phone or tape it on the fridge. Write: "On friday at X time I will do X to further my recovery" And then do the same for Saturday, and Sunday. I am a very calculated person in my work and have a very defined workday schedule, I applied that to my off-work time as well in early sobriety. Write down exactly what you plan to do and then you have no doubt as to what will happen. It's an easy concept but a hard thing to do...but it can be done!
